Trade-in rush to sell iPhone 5, 4S and 4

The trade-in rush has started to sell iPhone 5, 4S and 4 after the Apple event invitation landed yesterday. The 2013 iPhone event is planned for September 10, and while the invites didn’t reveal any product details they did hint at something bright with a number of colors being shown that could signal the incoming color choice.

Apple iPhones can drop with their trade-in price the closer we get to event day, and this is due to a flood of handsets being traded in that push down the exchange value. Now that we are just days away from the next event it seems like the best deals won’t be around for long.

The real problem comes with wanting to upgrade to an Apple iPhone 5S or 5C from an iPhone 5, 4S or 4 but not knowing the finer specs and features until event day.

This decision is easier for an iPhone 4 owner thanks to that smartphone being a few years old now, but for iPhone 5 and even 4S owners it might not be an easy choice right now.
